Pakistan just has played one match of Tri-Nation Series tournament on the opposition of the host Bangladesh. It could say that Pakistan has secured an easy wins in the first match of the Tri-Nation Series Tournament. Bangladesh won the toss and invited Pakistan to bat first and scored 233 runs from 39.3 b alls but losing all wickets. At last Bangladesh could not reach its targeted 234 runs.

Pakistan opener Salman Butt and wicket keeper Kamran Akmal started well and acquired a very good partnership. During the 12^th over Pakistan lose the first wicket and on 13^th over they lost the 2^nd wickets and fall in to pressure. Most dependable batsman Mohammad Yousuf held the rudder of the team and scored 59 runs from 56 balls with 7 boundaries. Although skipper Shoaib Malik did not secure any good score but Pakistan able to reach 233 runs with Afridi’s 20 and Misbah-ul-Haq’s 39 runs.

In this situation what can Pakistan do? Will they win against India? Indian is the strongest teams among the three.

That performance has opened the door to take parts in the Tri-Nation Series in Bangladesh. Gautam Gambhir is the only players who acquired the high runs among the Indian players.

The Pathan brothers (Yousuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan) are considered as an all-rounder. After a long time India could fill-up requirement of all-rounder with the two brothers. Similarly, the pathan brothers skills during the IPL was mind-blowing especially Yousuf Pathan. He was awarded the man of the match in the final of IPL.

Now it is time to see what India can do in the ongoing Tri-Nation Series tournament. The strong opposite of Indian team’s is Pakistan always.

Attractive Opening Ceremony of Euro 2008

To watch Germany Vs Portugal Match live visit the link

http://techblogbiz.blogspot.com/2008/06/germany-vs-portugal-live-score-and.html

UEFA Euro is one of the biggest football events in to the Europeans. It inaugurates after four years. This year the UEFA Euro is hosted by two countries Austria and Switzerland. On 7 June 2008 at 17:00 local time in St. Jakob Stadium, Basel, Switzerland. The opening ceremony will be attractive and colorful because of its popularity.

Football is the heart of European and if it becomes UEFA Euro then there is no doubt. Euro is a prestigious event to the Europeans. Now all Europe is in Euro 2008 fever. I have quoted some opinions below;

"I'm not a football fan though I am very glad and a bit proud that the tournament is happening here," said 45-year-old Angelino Bernardo, a 4-star hotel employee.

"It is an advantage on the part of my hotel employer since they are going to house here a number of guests from all over Europe. Para sa akin ay dagdag na trabaho and actually bawal sa aming mga workers ang magbakasyon magmula sa June7 hanggang matapos ang event," Bernardo added. (It is an additional work for me and actually we are not allowed to go on vacation starting June 7 until the end of the soccer cup.)

"The Europe Soccer Cup 2008 is an opportunity for Austria to showcase not only its enthusiasm for sport but also its image as a country of art and culture," said overseas Filipino worker Romeo Morales.

"The latest horrible event in Amstetten, where Josef Fritzl took his daughter into captivity for 24 years, has put Austria in the bad limelight. The European Soccer Cup is an important event for Austria and this is a good opportunity to prove that the country has other wonderful things to offer," said another OFW, Felipe Reyes.

"Football unites": that is the slogan the Austrian Football Association, the Austrian Bundesliga authorities and the "2008- Austria on the ball" initiative have chosen for UEFA EURO 2008TM, and it is their hope that the beautiful game will build bridges between people and cultures, across all borders.

So, it is clear that not only the opening ceremony but also whole the Euro 2008 champion will be more exciting too.
